lyrics

Moon over my shoulder,
Pale on the garage
While I try not to think about
Where I am going or where I've been.
Two paces out of my back door,
The collar of my dog
Jangling out from the shadows,
Is the world really so small?

Soon, night will be over.
I'll hear it in the chorus of birdsong,
While the neighborhood
Warms in the light of
The coming day.
What seemed so overwhelming?
What passed across my soul
To make me feel undeserving
Of a world so rich and full?

And as the day reveals its missions,
Tasks get done, miles get driven.
Plans are made, things are tough
Things are great, but soon…

That moon over my shoulder,
Beckoning me out.
Will it bring peace and slumber
Or another night of doubt?
